Most businesses don’t fail because the idea is wrong. They fail because the funding is wrong.
We work with business owners who are trying to move forward — expansion, restructuring, acquisitions, new contracts — and the finance piece just isn’t lining up. That’s usually where we step in. Not to sell a product. To figure out what actually makes sense.
Financial advice in a business context isn’t about theory. It’s about numbers that lenders will accept, proposals that stand up to scrutiny, and structures that don’t cause problems later. Cashflow matters. Security matters. Timing matters even more.
At Fitzmaurice Finance, we help clients prepare properly before approaching lenders or investors. That includes business plans, financial projections, funding strategies, and sometimes independent business reviews where a third-party opinion is required.
We also spend a lot of time helping businesses fix existing problems. Facilities that no longer suit the business. Lending that became too expensive. Covenants that don’t work anymore. Legacy debt from difficult trading periods. These situations are common.
Our role is practical. Assess where things stand. Identify options. Approach the right funding sources.
Jim Fitzmaurice brings banking and corporate finance experience from years working directly with business clients. That background matters because lenders think a certain way. We understand how decisions are made behind the scenes.
We work across sectors — agriculture, manufacturing, construction, transport, professional services, hospitality, and property-related businesses. Each has its own challenges. Funding structures are rarely identical.
Sometimes businesses just need guidance before making a major decision. Other times they need someone to lead the process.
Both happen here.
